Human sex trafficking bill introduced in Albany

A bill that would hold sex traffickers accountable for their heinous acts and beef up prosecutions in New York state was introduced by Albany lawmakers Tuesday, including state Sen. Andrew Lanza.

“New York should be on the forefront of this issue,” said NOW-NYC president Sonia Ossorio. “A strong law lets the people of New York know we care about human rights and it lets traffickers know … their free reign on our streets is over.”
